What skills do you need to make money online?

Well, that’s a really good question.

If you read some of these pitches, you’ll start thinking a dog can do make a fortune online. Not quite.

The truth is, you need to know how to do some things.

For example:

You need to read, write, listen, think, take notes, and plan.

You need to get online, type some words to sign up, copy and paste text, type in words to research on some websites.

You need to set up a way to collect your money, sometimes paypal, or a check, or direct deposit. You can usePaypal, for example. When you sell something, the money will go right in there and you can use an ATM card to get it out.

Those are the basics.

Now, for best results, you should also do some research about the internet.

What are people interested in? How do they find what they want, and what are they buying? You will be surprised to discover; people are buying just about EVERYTHING online. TIP: one thing people buy a LOT of online, is INFORMATION. We need to know a lot of stuff these days to manage our lives, our health, our businesses.

It will help you to find a good, profitable NICHE to sell in.

You’ll make even more money if you CREATE an information product and sell it directly using some of the software tools here, and your own knowledge gained from study.

This is an excellent product for a really good price. Totally worth it. DON”T buy it unless you plan to watch videos, listen to audio, read instructions, and follow the instructions.

Don’t worry, it’s not difficult, just takes some time to learn and prepare. This is like a whole business, and you can do it from home, or anywhere you can be online. You could buy this one package, and a couple others I know involving Twitter, and you can create a steady income that goes on for years if you keep doing it.

Reminder. Don’t buy any product if you’re not going to use it.

The products listed here are TOOLS. You have to study a bit before you select which one is right for you, see if it’s something you can do.

Then, you have to follow the instructions. Also, you need to understand the tool in context of the media, the internet, sites like Google and Twitter. Learn more on our other pages. If you’re not good with the internet, have a younger person help you. These are things high school kids can do easily. They can teach you if you feel awkward around computers

Shelly Ryan has done a TREMENDOUS job, putting this together for you. The price is incredible ! If you actually DO what she teaches, you have just bought yourself a liberating income for less than the price of the average textbook, one you can do while you are old, and one you can teach your family and friends.

It’s up to you to apply what she’s teaching. Highly recommended.

It’s easy to set up, well worth the money. You could earn the cost back within a day or too, then keep on making money. It can be set on autopilot. And you can also make money SELLING this product, PLUS any other products that you or anyone else sells, using this tool.

One way you can make some money online is selling something you did not create.

All you do is recommend a product via an email, or website, or on Twitter. v If someone follows through and buys something, you get a commission. Some commissions are small, say a few percent, but others can be 100 dollars per sale, or a few dollars per click. To find these, explore the links on this site.

What to do

First you have to sign up as an affiliate to that company, and go through a short process where you select the products you would like to sell. Then you copy and paste a short “html code”, or link, small banner, into an email or website, or blog, or on Twitter. If you know how to cut and paste, you can do this.

But, you have to do some research. There are some sites you can go to ( sign up, it’s free )

www.clickbank.com

www.linkshare.com

and others. Look online to find them under “affiliate programs”. Some are for name brand, well known merchandise, and others are for small niche markets for unusual items and D.I.P’s. DIP is a “Downloadable Information Product”

You can apply to get commissions from sales that use your link or small banner ad. What products do you like to use? what about your friends? You can find products covering the whole spectrum.

Most affiliate income tends to build steadily as you learn and adapt. It’s not “overnight” money.

Now, how to get visitors to come to your site or blog?

There are good answers to that question, but you have to learn what to do. The truth is, there are many, many ways to get traffic. Some are free and some cost money. Some take time, others can get fast results ( those are the ones that cost money ). Then there are a few ways that are free AND fast ( Twitter ).

Google, the Big Gorilla

It will pay you to learn about Google. Google wants you to make money and sell stuff, because if you do, all of their advertisers who pay Google money, will advertise more, and Google will get more and more businesses to advertise with them. Make friends with Google. Go to their site, click on the various links regarding setting up an account. You could spend all day there and still not learn everything. If you can go through all the information, you’ll be well along to making some Google Bucks.

Who here thinks Twitter is a crazy place?

But not just because you can hear about someone’s hangover or dog doo-doo.

It’s CRAZY for business and social networking.

It’s the fastest way to reach a broad, interested, relevant market, and meet new contacts,in real time.

The old way was, have a website, do google, do a MySpace thing, and wait.

BORING, takes way to long and we’ve got things to do.

Hey, we carry our computers around with us these days, people. and they have tiny keyboards, we have short attention spans….

Give us the goods, the tip, the link, the gossip, the news, and give it to us Short and Sweet.. and NOW, too. okay ?

Twitter is real time, so it’s very, very powerful. It makes international dialogue possible across a huge spectrum of the population. Get ready for some incredible stuff to happen in the next few years. ( Tweeter video and audio )

Can’t say what you need in 140? well, get yourself a dictionary and learn the lingo……….

If you say something interesting on Twitter you can get some eyes on your big message or product.

$$$$$$$

Now, research this product. DO NOT BUY IT unless you plan to USE it.

Scroll back to the top of this page: See that box, the Twitter Search box ? He’s got something that is so useful, and so CHEAP, I can hardly believe it.

I’m not going to spoil the surprise. You need to see this for yourself. Watch the video.

That product is so worthwhile that within one day you’ll save far more in time than it costs.And then, you can keep using it over and over again to save and make money.I call that a bargain if I ever saw one.

It’s a tool. Tools can make money again and again. You have to learn what it does, how to use it, and then actually use it or don’t bother buying it.

Also, try this:

Tweet Later… incredible tool. You can set up “tweets” to go up on your twitter page automatically, set them up and let them run.
